In the scheme below which represents the mechanism of action for a large number of enzymes:
A+B⟺AB⟶C
The steady state approximation is reached when:
d[AB]/dt≈0
k2≫k1
k−1≫k1
k−1=k1
An enzyme that catalyzes the reaction X ⇌ Y is isolated from two bacterial species. The enzymes have the same Vmax but different Km values for the substrate X. Enzyme A has a Km of 2.0 μM, and enzyme B has a Km of 0.5 μM. The plot below shows the kinetics of reactions carried out with the same concentration of each enzyme and with [X] = 1 μM. Which curve corresponds to which enzyme? Explain.
When studying the mechanism of the enzymatic reaction, functional groups were found that ensure the connection of the enzyme molecule with the substrate and take a direct part in the act of catalysis. What are these areas of the enzyme formed by these groups called? What functional structures form them and why?
